Day 7: My Dream Job, and why
This post took its time in coming because I had to really think about what my dream job would be.
I used to take this question a little too seriously--I always thought the dream job was supposed to be a real one. I didn't think it could be a made up job.
And yet, I couldn't even come up with a made up dream job. I guess in my mind, once you do something to get paid, you start hating it. Back when I was getting ready to go to college, people at church kept asking me if I was going to study music, since I played the violin and my mother studied music. I used to tell them, "No, because by law of nature, you are supposed to hate your job, and I don't want to hate music!"
Plus, I know I wouldn't have survived BYU's music program on the off chance I would have gotten in. Practicing four hours a day? Yeah, I don't have the attention span for that.
So, what is my dream job?
Blogger. Well, technically, I am a blogger, in my own small sphere. But there's a part of me that would love to be more well-known, you know, kind of like Pioneer Woman. Have a fan page, be quoted, be witty, have followers, etc.
However, it seems that in order to have *that* kind of a blog, I would have to blog much more frequently than I do and have DSLR camera. As it is, I'm chasing a soon-to-be walking toddler and happen to like my PAS camera ;)
Plus, I don't have the thickest skin. You need to have one of those if you venture into the professional blogging world, exposing yourself to criticism and all. Granted, my skin is much thicker than it used to be (becoming a mom does that).
For the time being, my family and friends can enjoy this blog for what it is. :)
I will be posting recipes again--stay tuned for some deliciousness.

Hi Laura-- I check your blog every now and then and enjoy reading your posts. I am a mom blogger too and I would love for blogging to be my job. I am beginning to network and "make friends" through blogging so maybe someday my dream will come true to be a pro blogger.
